Recently purchased a 21 F3S Special and the gauge spoiler comes standard. I'm thinking of adding a larger windshield but I'm leery because I love the stock look. Obviously, I have to decide how much I want to fight the wind when riding. Any other special series owners added a windshield?
Where did you buy your special? I was at Pete’s motorcycles in Baltimore last Friday, and there was a guy who was looking at the special that he had put a deposit on three months ago. I was wondering if he ended up buying it, and if it was you?
I love the stock, but only for back roads and speeds up to 50 mph. Anything above those speeds, I’ve noticed that my head and neck gets blown around.
I ended up placing an order for a 15 inch light smoke gray Gustafsson screen. I’m 5’2 for reference. I haven’t received it yet so can’t provide a review. Their website is bikescreen.com
I also considered F4, 7jurock, and the one on Lamonster Garage’s website.
I sent my 18 inch MadStad back.....yesterday. I am one who will not sing its praises. Could not get it adjusted for highway speeds (65mph to 80 mph), the bolts kept coming loose due to the vibrations. I would have to pull over to the side of the road, retighten everything and get on my way. Several positions created such a backdraft push I felt like I was being pushed forward, other positions my helmet vibrated so bad I could not see out of it. I am 5' 6" and measured for the 18" one. Let's hope I get my money back!

I have a blueridge on my Daytona. I cut it down to the 129 height as I got too much buffeting in my helmet. The 129 let's the wind hit me mid chest. I'm 6'2" long torso and the wind in my helmet is what I wanted. For long trips I find my neck get some strain so I may look at an F4 as a road trip shield, but I have no problem with the 129 height at top speed. I wear am Arai Signet helmet so maybe its better in open air.
I bought the blueridge windscreen, then traded it to the dealer for a 129 windscreen, which I then cut down as far as I could. I also modified it so it's quick release, so I can swap it with the gauge spoiler quickly when I don't want any screen. I also have a madstad, which is ugly as homemade sin, but when installed I was able to adjust it for total calm at any speed. I'm going to modify it also to be quick release so I can swap between screens as the mood and need strike.

Honestly it could be done with a hacksaw and a file. Or just a file. It'd take a while, but all you have to do is cut out a slot in the front mount. It just looks fancy because I have a mill.
